A Movie Fiction: by James Tadd Adcox

"Watching a movie, the title of which does not, for these purposes, concern us, one realizes that it is taking place in one’s own house"

New work today at (the brand-new) @briefincorrect.bsky.social. Thanks to @aaronboot.bsky.social for giving this one a home

yeah i think there's a real strong argument to be made this is not "running"

oh i should mention, today we went to this ledge behind some business, loading dock situation thing out back, and at some point i mention how i've gotta pick up a rotissy chicken and loaf of bread before i head home. and my guy is like, bud! this business we're behind is an albertsons! incredible.

...did you guys skate today? was really nice out.

Still waiting for Kyle’s skateboard novel

sent a letter very early yesterday morning, trying to salvage a sleepless night. if unpromotional text with no links or images sounds good to you, please hit me with your email addy...

Art is for people and people are people by virtue of making art. It's a closed enough loop that I really don't think we should lose much time worrying about machines.

heh, yes. clicked for an overdue subscription before i finished his review.

i wonder how many times over how many years i can be newly reminded what an absolute treasure Tom LeClair is. thanks for this.

Reading, man. It's so sick. Only thing better is reading and then talking about it with other people. Very, very sick.

Art is for people and people are people by virtue of making art. It's a closed enough loop that I really don't think we should lose much time worrying about machines.

not really here on this earth to spread doom but truly, it's fuck these people for eternity, forever and ever, may misery forever keep them from knowing peace

cole. did you film the trick.

did you guys see the trick i did in los angeles or what

and frankly the whole vast lot of you who weren't dirtbag skaters have no excuse whatsoever

it's pretty easy to never say "retard," along with all the other words we of a certain age grew up saying because we were dirtbag skateboarders

i have, in the past, shoplifted from target. i won't tell you which one but it's in CHICAGO and what i stole was TIDE LAUNDRY DETERGENT

would really quite like to see the venn diagram of fosse and this fucking guy readers!

i'm gonna need a pen and scap o' paper to figure this one out i think...

i just coughed skateboarding at the table here

my buddy, a skater i met through skating and only later learned drew comics, was awarded a guggenheim fellowship today.

personally, and don't necessarily quote me on this (me, the inventor of Old Clip Thursday), i'm doing new clips on sundays. i think.

went and got a clip in honor of someday he's going to die

i actually know exactly who to blame and am thus in a state of total peace.

i don't know. i don't know how long it's been since you read the story 'taking care' by joy williams but i think you should do it today, if you can.

have spent the last 17 hours trying to come up with a civilian equivalent of a frontside slappy on a curb at the beach and i'm afraid to say that there is nothing.
